Chapter 563: Chapter 563: Science Top Scholar
Sheng Tang’s final exams went as usual; she didn’t deliberately hide anything.
She said to Gu Shiting, "This time, I should be able to get into the top five in the school."
Gu Shiting wasn’t satisfied with the top five; he hoped she could get first place.
"What’s wrong, not being the first in school means I’m not good enough for you?" Sheng Tang teased him.
Gu Shiting hugged her tightly, pressing her against his chest.
"Even if you come last, you’re still my girlfriend!" he said.
Sheng Tang burst into laughter.
On the third day of summer vacation, the city’s college entrance exam results were out.
The day before the scores could be checked, Sheng Tang was incredibly nervous, almost to the point of insomnia, and had no appetite.
"I haven’t been this nervous in years, really!" she said.
She had seen much of the world, yet she didn’t know why she was suddenly so nervous. She shouldn’t have been nervous, as Gu Shiting’s grades had always been excellent.
Her anxiety caused her grandmother and parents to worry as well.
"What was the cutoff score for S University last year?" her grandmother asked.
Sheng Tang had already checked online, "620 points."
"Is it that high? Isn’t the total score just 750?"
"That’s for local admissions. I heard the cutoff score for external admissions is 650," Sheng Tang replied.
Her grandmother clicked her tongue.
"I knew they were amazing, but I didn’t know they were this amazing," her grandmother said. "No wonder a few years ago, someone in our community got into S University and threw a big party, even putting up a banner."
Sheng Tang laughed.
As they chatted, they waited.
The city’s college entrance exam scores could be checked at 8 PM tonight, either by phone or online.
Around seven o’clock, Sheng Tang couldn’t sit still.
Gu Shiting grabbed her hand, "Don’t worry, if I don’t get in, I’ll come back and repeat a year. We can still be classmates."
Sheng Tang, "Phew phew phew, what bad luck talk!"
As soon as it was eight o’clock, Sheng Tang immediately rushed to the computer, entered Gu Shiting’s exam ID, and checked his scores.
It might have been because too many people were logging in; the site was incredibly slow.
Three minutes later, the webpage finally loaded.
The Sheng Family was stunned.
That little rascal, Gu Shiting, scored 736 points.
He got full marks in math and science, deducted six points in English, and eight points in Chinese.
"Oh my god!" Even Professor Sheng was stunned, "Ting, not only are you the top science student, but you’re also the best in history."
Gu Shiting remained calm, "It was simple."
Sheng Tang was speechless.
He made her so nervous.
Sheng Zong squeezed through the crowd, "Let me see, let me see again."
His brother-in-law was just too amazing.
This was simply genius level.
"Brother Ting, how did you do it? You have to teach me your study methods," Sheng Zong said, "I also want to be a top science student."
"There’s no special method. I’ve found everything easy to understand since elementary school," Gu Shiting replied.
Sheng Zong was speechless.
The gap between a genius and an ordinary person is vast!
That night, Huishi High School also received all the students’ college entrance exam scores.
The city’s top science student was Gu Shiting. He was leagues ahead, scoring 20 points more than the second-place student.
The school was in an uproar.
This was Huishi’s third top student since its founding, and the first two were both arts students and scholarship recipients.
The top science student was a first.
The school heavily publicized it, hanging banners all over the street in front of the school, all while arranging for various media interviews.
However, Gu Shiting himself refused to show up.
"His grades are genuine. All those who said he always got the exam papers in advance must be eating their words now."
"Gu Shiting is incredible, a top science student!"
"He only lost 14 points; did he get full marks in several subjects?"
Even the chat group of Sheng Tang’s class was buzzing with excitement.
Looking at their conversations, Sheng Tang felt immense pride, like a benevolent mother, her heart brimming with pride for her outstanding "child".
